What should I choose - GPU Mining or CPU Mining? [duplicate]
CPU mining is just a novelty, but you can start there. But beware: if you are using a laptop, you risk damaging it with excessive heat. GPU mining is faster but to be successful you'll need a high-end graphics card in a desktop computer and those cards are $1000. And even then, GPU mining is rather inefficient compared to desktop ASIC boxes.
